Metallica: Screaming Suicide (Official Music Video)

Metallica's official music video for “Screaming Suicide,” from the album “72 Seasons” available April 14th, 2023. “‘Screaming Suicide’ addresses the taboo word of suicide. The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside. It's ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another, I believe most people have thought about it. To face it is to speak the unspoken. If it's a human experience, we should be able to talk about it. You are not alone.” ------ If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please reach out for help.

You don’t recognize Head is full of lies You should just give up   Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well   Don’t ever speak my name Remember you’re to blame Keep me inside Keep me inside My name is suicide   Curse another day Spirit locked away Punish and deprive Hate to be awake Living a mistake More dead than alive Then a voice appears Whisper in your ears “You are good enough” Throwing down a rope A lifeline of hope Never give you up   Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well   Don’t ever speak my name Remember you’re to blame Keep me inside Keep me inside My name is suicide Terrified in sleepless nights Caught in spotlight dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you’re left behind My lying voice inside Keeps drinking cyanide And no more can you run Into the sun Terrified, sleepless nights Caught in spotlight dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you’re left behind And now you speak my name You’ve given back the blame Keep me deep inside Don’t you keep me inside Screaming suicide Now that I’m exposed inside Shined a light on cyanide I’m no longer needed here Now you've faced your biggest fear Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich & Robert Trujillo CREDITS Director: Tim Saccenti Producer: Daniel Lachman Executive Producer: Jennifer Heath Prod Company: Radical Media Creative Direction: Setta Studios DP: Joshua Zucker-Pluda Production Designer: Kurt Gefke Gaffer: Drew Valenti Key Grip: Charles Lenz SPFX: Kevin Watson Editor: Matt Posey Editorial: PS260 Colorist: Tom Poole Color: Company 3 Co3 Producer: Shannen Troup, Nick Krasnic Digital Artwork: Chris Dammeyer VFX: Mark Szumski VFX Company: Hey Beautiful Jerk  Executive Producer: Gina Niespodziani Visuals Curator: Dina Chang Sound Designer: Nicole Pettigrew PS260 Executive Producer: Raná Martin Production Supervisor: Kelsie Drinkwater Buchanan Assistant Director: Michael Estrella Steadicam: Chris Loh 1st AC: Ethan McDonald 2nd AC: Alan Certeza DIT: James Petersmeyer BB Electric: Arin Whitlock Electric: Tom Peña Electric: Chris Waldorf Electric: Darrel Ditri Lighting Console Programmer: Zane Blanchard BB Grip: Andy Wilson Grip: Otis Mannick Grip: Matt King Grip: Derick Holub Projectionist: Ryan Griffin/Projected Visions VTR/Playback: Robert Buckholz Leadman: Dylan Robie Set Dresser: Kenny Davis Set Dresser: Sean Buckley Hair & Makeup: Lily Beren Stylist: Keith Wager   Medic: Matt PayneCCO: Chris Howard Covid Coord: Danielle Rivera 2nd AD: Janet Marin Production Coordinator: Adam Sun Production Assistant: Joe BlanaProduction Assistant: Xavier MustiProduction Assistant: Alicia EchevarriaProduction Assistant: Oscar Amaya Production Assistant: Jackson Linn Follow Metallica: Website & Store: http://www.metallica.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/metallica Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/metallica TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@metallica © 2023 Blackened Recordings #Metallica #ScreamingSuicide #72Seasons
